Misha Lulu is a family owned and operated fashion brand founded by Karen and Joe Salazar. Their darling Bela is the biggest inspiration behind all they do. This fashion forward, hip clothing line is full of whimsical detail and funk in every piece. Karen, the mastermind behind it all, really goes to great lengths to ensure the quality and uniqueness of every item.

This little brand is truly so special as it is a family effort and everyone takes part in a little creating. Karen's mother, Grandma Blanquita, hand paints vintage inspired images on the aprons, and Joe's mother, Grandma Chol, crochets all the fun hats. Even little Bela has a say in the type of clothing she wants to see in Misha Lulu each season! Also, I have the privilege of knowing Karen personally and I can attest to how much love and attention she dedicates to her creativity and building a line that is so much full of love and personality.

For Cakies readers, Misha Lulu is doing a fantastic giveaway. I will be picking two winners, that's right... two!!! One winner will receive the Misha Lulu bow dress (any size from 3 months- 8yrs.) and a Grandma Chol crocheted hat and the other winner will receive 2 boy Misha Lulu tees (any size from 2T-8).

Isabella's birthday post on 9/22 was very inspiring. I loved all the handmade gestures. I'm sure it made her birthday extra special. I'm entering for a boy or girl. I have a 4 year old daughter and an adorable 2 year old nephew. Thanks!

I do like her fashion posts, but personal ones are always faves. I like the God Bless America post the best..how cool to dress up like the Statue of Liberty with paper crafts. Great photos of Bela's birthday party too Ruby...love that she wanted a Star Wars party.

One boy and one girl so I would love either prize. The Misha Lulu blog is so inspiring! Recently, I loved the post about the fake beards made by etsy seller "imadeyouabeard". It totally made me smile and now I think need a rainbow beard too:)

i love the self portrait post. as a mother of a 4 year old preschooler, i see a lot artworks form young artists and this one brought a smile to my face. so cute... i love both girls and boys apparel that we can get a chance to win... hope i win!!!!

i would like to be in the running for my daughter lyla. my favorite post thus far is The Berlin Reunion. it was such a breathtaking exhibition of the narration of the Berlin Wall. the marionettes took me back to my childhood vacations in italy with my family as they always do and the massive sizes were incredible. what a fantastic artistic abstract way to represent the fall of the wall and the unity of the germans! also reminded me of my backpacking trip to europe after my college grad. with my best friend, oh so beautiful Berlin!
